4. System Connection
4.1. System Applications
Reliable performance for control and transmission makes the AVG-HDWP70TX-IR
ideal in the IT computer space, signal monitoring, big screen displays, conference
systems, television broadcast, education, banking and security institutions etc.
4.2. Usage Precautions
1. System should be installed in a clean environment with temperature and humidity
maintained to within equipment specification.
2. All of the power switches, plugs, sockets and power cords should be insulated
and safe.
3. All devices should be connected before power is turned on.
4.3. Connection Diagram
Note: Pictures shown in this manual are for reference only.

4.4. Connection Procedure
Step 1. Connect HDMI source device (e.g. Blu-ray DVD) to the HDMI input port of
the AVG-HDWP70TX-IR with HDMI cable. Connect a VGA source device
(e.g. PC) to the VGA input port of AVG-HDWP70TX-IR with VGA cable
Step 2. Connect an AVG-HD402PR to the HDBT port on the rear panel with
twisted pair.
Step 3. Connect a HDMI display to the HDMI OUT port of AVG-HD402PR
Step 4. Connect a control terminal to the RS232 port on the front panel of AVG-
HD402PR.
Step 5. Both AVG-HDWP70TX-IR and AVG-HD402PR have IR IN and OUT.
When one model is used for IR signal receiver, the IR signal must be
sent out by the other model.
For example: When “IR IN” of AVG-HDWP70TX-IR connects with
an IR receiver, the IR transmitter must connect to IR OUT of the
AVG-HD402PR.
The IR signal can be transmitted bi-directionally between the
AVG-HDWP70TX-IR and AVG-HD402PR.
Step 6. Connect a control device (e.g. PC) to the RS232 port of AVG-HDWP70TX-
IR or AVG-HD402PR (bi-directional RS232 control, either is available)
Step 7. Connect a DC 24V power adaptor to the power port of the AVG-HD402PR.
The AVG-HDWP70TX-IR is able to get power from the AVG-HD402PR
with the PoC solution.
Note: AVG-HDWP70TX-IR supports unidirectional PoC, i.e, AVG-HDWP70TX-IR
can get power from far-end PoC devices with the PoC function. However, it can’t
power a far-end PoC device when the power supply is connected to HDWP100TX-
IR.

4.5. 12V DC Output
AVG-HDWP70TX-IR has a 12V power output port on the rear panel. Connect the
12V power output port of AVG-HDWP70TX-IR to the power port of a 3
rd
Party Device
for convenient localized powering.

5. System Operations
5.1. IR Control
AVG-HDWP70TX-IR provides an IR IN/ IR OUT socket for connection to an IR
receiver/ IR Transmitter to attain bi-directional IR transmission with the far-end
receiver.
1. Control the far-end output device from the local matrix location.
2. Control the local input/output device remotely.
5.2. RS232 Control
As RS232 can be transmitted bi-directionally between the AVG-HDWP70TX-IR
and AVG-HD402PR, enabling it to control a third party RS232 device locally or
control t h e AVG-HDWP70TX-IR remotely. When controlling a third party
RS232 device, the baud rate of this device should be 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 or 115200 .
5.2.1 Connection with the RS232 Communication Port
As well as the front control panel, the AVG-HDWP70TX-IR can be controlled by a 3
rd
Part control system through the RS232 communication port. This RS232
communication port is a female 9-pin D connector. The definition of its pins is listed
